Heh heh, yeah it's great isn't it. I like the dick shredder comment.
Yeah, got to love it when someone tries to focus their entire self-worth in to a posession. For some people, it's a nice house. For some it's a Mr T gold collection. For some it's an un-economical death-trap.
At least if commen-sense doesn't prevail, maybe simple economics will.
Oh that would be excellent. Maybe you could add sound effect that play as well. When you open, you will hear "Booooooo" or "Hurrah" which will tell you whether you agree or not.
It's getting too difficult to track. Maybe Slashdot should add a page telling us what our opinion should be about a particular product/company that day.
Mars entering in to the Kyoto treaty would probably be welcomed. Since they don't really have much industry up there, they could trade their emissions quoto with countries who still say "Fuck yeah, we need SUVs! how else will I drive my 5 year old kid to school".
There aren't any SUVs left to send to Mars. They're all being used by twats who want to drive their child 2 miles to school while consuming enough fuel to power a Death Star.
(BTW, when driving into town, I sometines tune in to one of our local classical music stations, turn the volume up and drive by people at about 10 km/h, nodding to the "beat". You know, like those "cool" people who have to inform everyone about the latest hip hop trends.)
Well played sir. If I owned a car I'd surely do the same thing around here to try to counteract the annoyance of skinny white kids with their windows rolled down blaring out 50 cent and somehow believing that they're bad-ass ghetto brothers.
It's kinda like those slashdot posters who seem to be professionally involved in everything.
This is why pubs are so boring these days. Whereas in the past every bar had a drunk guy who could give you practical advice on bloody anything, now they're all at home posting on Slashdot.
I particularly miss the sports, political and legal advice I used to get.
Using wikipedia for that purpose does seem as wise as accepting IANAL advice on Slashdot.
Maybe I'm visiting the wrong web site but the most common part of Hilton I see would be her strange droopy dawg face. She's got eyes like Sylvester Stalone.
Damn i wish I had mod points. It's an excellent point.
I know when I'm buying something i don't know know a great deal about, or simply can't choose between some products, the price can be the final deciding factor. If something really is very cheap, you just have to wonder how they managed to get it that cheap, what corners did they cut? Reminds me of the time when I finally gave in to the 21st century and bought my first mobile phone.
That's a fair point as long as we're comparing apples to apples.
Whether Apple are particularly bad I honestly don't have an opinion on that. The links you included are useful although a google search for dell class action also finds quite a few results.
He may have a point but he needs to provide evidence of some reasoning.
I think Chorus (a cable tv company in Ireland) absolutely suck and I someone asked, I could tell them why. I can tell them about my experiences as a customer with them and also compare them to other companies.
In the end, it could be a case of me being unlucky with Chorus and everyone else is having a great time with them but at least I can show some practical evidence.
Cheers. I've been out of the country for a while and miss quite a bit of the news. I remember someone telling me about this ITV story but then didn't hear much after that.
It's interesting that the photos of the poor sod do seem to prove that initial eyewitnesses were wrong particularly concerning what he was wearing.
Yeah, I think at the moment it's best to just keep an open mind and hope the investigation is afterwards proven to be transparent.
which computer vendor is covering up the fact their computer products kill or injure people?
None that I'm aware of but then, did I ever say it was a computer company? Okay, let's summarise this conversation,
You claim that Apple do bad support compared on consumer products compared to the support that HP, IBM and Sun provide on their enterprise/high-end stuff. This is a pointless arguement since it's common sense. I would not expect to get the same level of support for my Game Boy as I would for my Blade Server.
You're providing nothing but bizarre illogical arguements and then quietly changing the subject when someone flies a 747 through a gigantic hole in your arguement.
To turn things around... Do you think all other consumer electronics companies are perfect and have never had class-action action suits filed against them?
That still doesn't explain why you're basing your case on the support being provided for a consumer music player compared to the support being provided for enterprise hardware.
It's like comparing the service in a McDonalds to what you get in a top London restaurant and then saying that McDonalds sucks in comparisson. Of course it's going to be a different level of service - you only paid 1 pound for your meal.
Personally, I know it won't work for me because I know at least a couple of friends are suckers for those 'join my group of friends' sites and love entering my email address. Luckilly I've been able to wean these silly friends of my main account and on to a junk account used by them and Nigerian generals.
Sounds similar to the way GSM phones tend to work in Europe. I can take my Irish phone abroad (let's say to Spain) but if someone in Ireland calls me, they will pay for a regular call to a mobile but I pay the cost of the international connection.
Strange though that you can have this situation without even having to leave the US.
The idea of public domain is that you create something, release it and relinquish any control you have over it. You can't release something as public domain but add conditions.
If you were to release an application in to the public domain and offer it as a free download from your web site, you could not stop me from simply changing the strings so that it looks like my work and then reselling it as a commercial application.

Drivel? x86. How dare you, it's a PowerPC processor I'm using. x86 honestly? Son of a buffoon.
I assure you, the bit that was correct was an accident. Probably same for the funny bit as well.

Maybe we should send a team up there to burrow deep in to Mars to see if the core has stopped spinning. I heard a similar thing happened on Earth.

Well FireFox is a web browser as well so you can't rule out the posibility that Opera is trying to compete with it.
i think the parent is joking. "Please Slashdot it as much as possible." is a bit of a give-away.
Funny how you could meet her in the street and not recognise her unless she whipped the boys out :-)
"Ah, so that's where I've seen you before.."

I heard about this CCTV footage. I was wondering, has the footage been made available or have the police agreed with this new version of the events?
It'll be interesting to see the final results of the investigation since we've clearly got two very different sets of eye-witness reports.
And some companies have deliberately covered up the fact that their products kill or injure people.
That still doesn't explain why you're basing your case on the support being provided for a consumer music player compared to the support being provided for enterprise hardware.

4 years is very impressive.
